We were in town for a short holyday and we were looking for a some good relaxing drink in a warm place (it was freakin cold outside). The Little Branch is like a speakeasy, so you don\t find any sign or flashing lights outside, just a door on the corner of the street. Down the stairs a man check your ID without smile or "hello"... so we ordered the drinks at the counter while waiting for the table, the barman took our order, but "smiles"... not recieved... I can say thet the drinks were very good, the place is cozy, the light was too tenuos for me but it created a romantic atmosphere. Price is like other similar bar (about15-16$). I think that a smile is a very simple thing but can change everything...

I never would have known this place existed if I had not been shown its location by a couple of friends. I would agree with other reviewers in saying that it is a bit of a basement bar atmosphere, but that isn\t necessarily a bad thing. I rather like the dim lit atmosphere, with a candle or two strewn about. It is a nice ambiance for a more casual yet still intimate date - if you can get a nice little table/booth. Beware that odds are you will not get a seat and will have to stand as this place can get very crowded. The cocktails are pretty darn good.
